I think what’s important to Theron is to fly below the radar and be left alone to do what he likes to do. Even though that Orhan has messed with his PvP team (through underhanded dealings no less) I wonder whether that is enough for him to mess with the status quo.

Am I the only one here who sees a textbook case of “Saying things they can’t take back because they’re hurt?”

This isn’t going to end well for her. You can see that he’s on her side, even if he’s not in the best position for it.

And nobody can tell me they haven’t said something stupid to a friend because they’re feeling hurt.

It’s also not going to end well for him, because like it or not, Murd’s there, and Orhan’s still calling the shots. And when Murd starts bringing down the PVP team, Orhan’s not going to call out the weak link, he’s just going to call out the guy in charge of the team and demand to know why he can’t do his job. “But Murd-” “Is one player. Work around him, or I’ll find someone who can.”

One way or another, even if the stuff involving Verdrana doesn’t come to a head for him, something else in the guild *will* for Theron. Whether it be the PvP team slipping because of Murd being a moron or another thing, not rocking the boat will eventually blow up in Theron’s face, the longer delayed the worse.

Why? Because Orhan’s a pompous douche that treats the entire guild like his ego machine, members be damned, and who thinks it’s everybody else’s fault except his own. If Theron thinks this situation’s tenable in this guild indefinitely, he’s smokin’ somethin’ good.

Also because cronyism (see Murd) never makes a healthy working *anything*, let alone guild. It’ll break down eventually, and I’m personally looking forward to eating popcorn and pointing and laughing at Orhan when his idea of ‘leadership’ comes back to bite him in the butt. >:)

unfortunately, it never bites the people who deserve it. At least, they never realize they’ve been bitten…or if they do, it’s always “someone else’s fault.” That’s how someone like Whorhan operates: he never takes the blame; in his mind, it’s never his fault, it’s always someone else’s fault. IE, “it’s all Verdrana’s fault, because she blew me off like that. She should’ve known better. She shouldn’t have been such a selfish !@$#.”

So he’ll blame Verdrana, he’ll blame Theron, and there’ll be drama, and Orhan might walk out in a huff to go insinuate himself into another guild & pull the same crap, all the while claiming that he was “run out of that other guild by a crazy-@$$ wench & a power-tripping PVPer”.
